0:00.0	Hey Better Babes. I'm Jonathan Van Ness and welcome to the Monday Edit, the podcast where we are
0:07.2	diving into all things going on in my world, your world and the world, every single week. We're
0:13.4	breaking down the news, pop culture, beauty, also exploring the topics that we're covering on getting
0:18.0	better, also giving you a little BTS in my life because according to Trisha Padas, honey, that is what your podcast is for. Who knew? Also, BT Dubs,
0:27.7	getting better still drops every single Wednesday, wherever you get your podcast and on YouTube.
0:32.4	If you are loving our YouTube journey, and we hope you are, because we're working hard on it,
0:37.4	and we think it's really fun and gorgeous, but also I'm still learning how to, like,
0:40.5	interview on camera, holding note cards, which is different than off camera. So please bear

1:26.8	because it just, it doesn't look like getting better. And we're having so much fun with our getting better
1:30.8	every Wednesday on YouTube or wherever you listen to your pods. So we're going to keep that coming.
1:34.5	But our Monday edit, we're going to keep dropping it here on the feed, but we're not going to put
1:37.9	it on YouTube anymore. And also, if you follow our social, you'll see that we're launching a Patreon, you guys. So I'm thinking that we are going to put this video over on there.
1:48.5	Also excited that Chris and I do want to move towards recording these in person.
1:53.8	It's just kind of taken me a little bit.
